handle the state changing RPC request `eth_sendRawTransaction`. It can be peered with
replica nodes to gossip new `unsafe` blocks to the rest of the network.

<Callout type="info">
To run a rollup, you need a minimum of one archive node. This is required by the proposer as the the data that it needs can be older than the data available to a full node. Note that since the proposer doesn't care what archive node it points to, you can technically point it towards an archive node that isn't the sequencer.

You're using `--gcmode=archive` to run `op-geth` here because this node will act as your Sequencer.
It's useful to run the Sequencer in archive mode because the `op-proposer` requires access to the full state.
Feel free to run other (non-Sequencer) nodes in full mode if you'd like to save disk space.
Feel free to run other (non-Sequencer) nodes in full mode if you'd like to save disk space. Just make sure at least one other archive node exists and the `op-proposer` points to it.
